Where Do The Meanings Come From?

The names of the symbols are not random. Each name carries meaning derived from multiple sources:

  • Hand Signs - Ancient gestures that shaped the symbols
  • Identity - The name itself reveals meaning
  • Sound - The sound connects to what the symbol represents
  • Symbolic - The shape of the symbol tells a story
  • Figurative - Extended meanings from the literal
  • Morphology - How symbols combine to create words
  • Idiom Phrases - Cultural expressions using the symbols

Understanding these sources unlocks the deeper meaning of Judean words.
